It’s a 5.7-gallon, take-home, draft-beer system. Now, if this works, maybe we’ll be able to get good beer, i.e. Shiner Bock on tap, in our homes.

This is a win-win for everyone. The beer company charges more for this than individual beers. For consumers, you can easily wrap up box beer as a gift. It stacks neatly. And, it’s much easier to smash it against your forehead than an aluminum can and a lot safer to smash against your head than a glass bottle.

Plus — and I don’t know if I’ve made this clear enough yet — it’s beer. Draft beer. At your home. In a box.

So the next time you hear someone trashtalking modern-day America, kick them in the junk, hit ‘em with a flagpole and then, while they’re on the ground writhing in pain, tell them about the beer box.
